Breaking Love is more than just the fourth installment in the Broken Love series. It’s also the answer to the most anticipated question of the series… #whereswillow!
Title: Breaking Love
Author: B.B. Reid
Genre: Erotic, New Adult, Contemporary
Release Date: November 24th, 2015
SYNOPSIS:
She’s the girl who got away, but now she’s back…
Four years was all it took.
I told myself I didn’t need friends. I didn’t need family. I sure as fuck didn’t need him.
And you know what?
I was right.
He had been inside of me, coursing through my veins.
So I cut and bled Dash Chambers until I was free.
But the day I returned to Six Forks and was thrown at his feet, I realized I would never forget how it felt to have every inch of him inside me.
...and he’s waiting.
Angel thought if she ran far enough, she’d be free.
What’s mine will always be mine.
Di's 5 Star Review
"Wanting Dash was risky. Fucking him was dangerous. Loving him would be a tragedy."
BB Reid does it again. A suspenseful end to one of my favorite series this year!!
Go back and start with Fear Me, this is the fourth book in The Broken Love Series. Dash & Willow's book. I'm calling this one mild to light, with suspense. It's actually lighter than any of her other books.
It's hard for me to review without giving spoilers. Here goes nothing. Where's Willow been? Gone, she fell off the face of the planet. The chemistry between Dash and Willow is off the charts smoking. The story takes place in the present with flashbacks of their beginning. The flashbacks were detrimental for this broken couple, it was almost too sweet, I almost couldn't handle it. God, I fell more in love with these two. I do have a heart, sometimes. Secrets and Lies. That's the present. The battle between the two from different sides of the tracks. Willow is the one girl Dash couldn't leave, but she's destined to run. I can't tell you much more, expect the unexpected. And be prepared for the shock of your life. The end blew me away, like that flush feeling you get in your face, like you've been slapped with some dirty talk. I was stunned.
Anyway, I'm hoping we get a couple more books, maybe a couple novellas, just to catch up with the characters in the future. I feel like I could read about this bunch forever, and never get bored. #TeamKieren
BB Reid rocks romance with edge.
EXCERPT:
REGRET WAS SOMETHING I had become accustomed. Ever since I ran, I’ve lived with it every day. And now it seemed at every turn, I was adding to my list of things to regret. I saw the accusation, the anger, the distrust…
I’d made the wrong decision and paid the consequences by further damaging my friendship with Lake.
I excused myself to the bathroom when I couldn’t fake it with my head held high anymore. I splashed water on my face and pretended I wasn’t crying. I told myself I wouldn’t be a bad person and that from now on, I would only make good decisions, but I knew when I reentered reality, none of it would hold any weight.
A knock on the door jolted me out my self-loathing. I became as stiff as a board and held my breath as if the person on the other side could actually hear.
“Willow?” The feminine sound of Lake’s voice calling my name made me grip the counter. “I know you’re in there.” The doorknob turned as she knocked again.
With a deep breath and then another, I unlocked and snatched open the door. “Yes?”
“What was that down there?”
“I don’t follow,” I answered slowly.
She pushed into the bathroom and closed the door shut. “Who are you?” The pain was etched all over voice. “The Willow I know would never have kept such a dangerous secret like that and put lives in jeopardy.”
“The Willow you knew isn’t standing here. You took what was left of her when you walked away for him.”
“If you think it hurt watching me move to another school, then be thankful you never had to feel what it was like to find one day that your best friend was gone without a trace. I fucking mourned you, Willow. I didn’t leave because I preferred him. I left because I needed him. I love him, Willow.”
“And I needed you.” The volume of my voice increased with the overwhelming emotions raging inside. “He’s abused you since we were kids. You’re such a fucking masochist.”
“I’m not living in the past like you. I forgave him for me.”
“Have you? Why? Has he even apologized or did he just make you a bunch of promises that sounded good?”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I know what he did to you.”
“No one knows better than me.” Her tone took on a harder edge, and I could tell the pain was still there despite all their happily ever after bullshit.
“And what about what he did to me?”
“What Keiran did was despicable, but he didn’t make you fuck Dash and he didn’t make you fall in love. You did it because you wanted to and because your heart craved Dash. The start may have been false, but the journey was real.”
I searched for a spot on the wall and fixated on it. I couldn’t stand to look in Lake’s unusual eyes and not give in.
“This great love you speak of tormented you for ten years and did unthinkable things to you for entertainment. In every war, there are casualties and people get hurt. I was one of them. It was one thing to fall in love, but it was unbearable to watch you ride off into the sunset with him. You never even thought to help me learn how to heal as I did for you. Did you forget? I dried every one of your tears and shared your pain so you could find the strength to face the next day only to be knocked down again. And now you’re actually trying to convince me that it was love? Well, I found and lost my only chance at love because of him. I won’t forgive him. Not even for me. The pain serves me much better. It reminds me I’m alive, and it’s love that destroys you.”
Lake watched me with sad eyes and then shook her head, defeated. She turned to grasp the door handle to leave but turned back at the last minute. “You didn’t lose him,” she shot back forcefully. “You let him go.”
THE BROKEN LOVE SERIES!
